So how was it? I wanted to go and "TAC" this year, but life had other plans for my schedule.

[Afbrat52]

It was amazing! I loved every minute of it! If you wanted to go as a TAC, I would recommend d it. Our TAC officer was great and very encouraging!

The senior members who assist with the flights are now referred to as "Training Officers".

Glad you had a good experience - so now that you have been, what advice do you have to offer?

[Afbrat52]

From my personal experience, don't trip on TD2 and break your collarbone. But in general, do your best, listen to instructions, memorize the SOI (ETM?), iron your uniforms and most of all, have FUN!

Don't know how TX ENC is, but...
glad you had a good time

For any other cadets going to basic:

stay in the moment, focus and listen.

Don't think about what happened yesterday or what will happen at the end of the week. Do you best on the task you have to do now,
and then you can forget and move on to the next one...

HUGE advice - something I always try to remind the staff.  It goes by so fast, and everyone is always leaning forward, that
you tend not to take the time to just exhale and experience your surroundings.

You show up to inprocessing, blink and it's graduation.

You know, when you do something as monumental as earning your Earhart Award, it might help to TELL US ABOUT IT!

Congratulations!
